54. I hate raw onions

Thu Dec 26, 2019, 12:28 PM

Dec 2019

My family was in for xmas eve, and I made my usual deviled eggs that are quickly devoured: Cooked egg yolks mashed with a fork, with salt, pepper, dijon mustard, and mayo. Sometimes with pickle relish. Spoon back into whites, and sprinkle all with paprika.

Nummies!
